Note: Details omitted due to classified nature of studies
Overview: In this set of studies, 4-6 sets of prototype shoes were given to us by an industry partner to test for differences in running biomechanics, and to evaluate runner feedback. In each study, runners were outfitted in a set of retroreflective markers for motion capture and asked to run on a force-instrumented treadmill. For each shoe, runners ran on the treadmill for a set amount of time at a set 8 pace, and then answered survey questions regarding the shoes. Motion capture and force plate data were used to analyze running biomechanics, while survey data were used to quantify runner perception of the shoes.
